Explain this paragraph about the ball and stick model of drawing molecules to a lay-fag:
Ball and stick model:
A problem with rigid bonds and holes is that systems with arbitrary angles could not be built. This can be overcome with flexible bonds, originally helical springs but now usually plastic. This also allows double and triple bonds to be approximated by multiple single bonds (Fig. 3).
